Wrap Up:

Sellers: While the impending arrival of the winter season commonly brings about a slowdown in both new listing and sales, the unprecented effect of the COVID pandemic on the market continues to surprise us. With sales up nearly 84% in comparison to 2019, it is clear that now is a wonderful time to be a seller. If you have beeb thinking about listing your home, we urge you to do so soon as inventory is decreasing and we cannot promise how long this trend will last. Further, strict measures are still being taken to show homes safely.  Please contact us to discuss our strategy for virtually listing and showing your home. 

Buyers: While we didn't see an incredible amount of new listings hit the market in the month of November, there is still a solid inventory out there for sellers. If there is a property you have had your eye on, now may be the time to make a competitive offer. Further, with interest rates coming down and down - the opportunity to make an offer is definitely now - if you are in a position to move forward.
